Rush To Take Extended Break

09/24/2013.

(hennemusic) Rush frontman Geddy Lee tells Rolling Stone that the band has no plans to regroup for a while following the recent completion of their "Clockwork Angels" world tour.

Their manager wants them to launch a tour next year to celebrate the 40th anniversary of drummer Neil Peart joining the group. "That's not going to happen though," says Lee. "My attitude is that as much as I'd like to celebrate 40 years, we need a break more than we need a 40th anniversary celebration. There's nothing wrong with celebrating 42 years."

Asked if the band may not resurface until 2015, Geddy says "I think so. Something like that. . . The plan now is to have no plans. We have had a great 10 years of tour, album, tour album.

"I can honestly say that the three of us enjoyed this tour more than any one we've ever done. We left on a high note, but we recognize that we need to pay attention to our families and recharge our batteries. So we decided that we're just not going to discuss anything for a little while." more on this story
